"Great crews, hard workers, good quality work done fast. Great suggestions on remodel detail options. A happy crew working together is the sign of a good company. Jim Dietz has a great sense of humor. He comes up with 'spitball' options on the spot & his ideas are usually spot on."

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible team of contractors who undertook the task of fixing my popcorn ceiling. From start to finish, they demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication, leaving me thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with their work. I would like to share my positive experience with this outstanding crew and recommend them wholeheartedly. From the moment I contacted them, their customer service was exceptional. They were responsive, attentive, and took the time to understand my requirements and concerns. They patiently answered all my questions, providing detailed explanations of the process, materials used, and timeline involved. Their clear communication and transparency instilled confidence in me right from the beginning. When it came to the execution of the project, the contractors truly excelled. They arrived promptly and were well-prepared with all the necessary tools and equipment. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated an incredible level of skill and craftsmanship. It was evident that they were highly experienced in working with popcorn ceilings, as they navigated the intricate textures and patterns with precision and finesse. Not only were the contractors technically proficient, but they also displayed a strong attention to detail. They ensured that every inch of the ceiling was meticulously repaired, leaving no traces of imperfections. The final result was nothing short of remarkable! My popcorn ceiling was transformed into a smooth, flawless surface that looked brand new. I could not be happier with the outcome. Furthermore, the contractors maintained a clean and organized workspace throughout the project. They took great care to protect my furniture, floors, and belongings from any dust or debris. After completing the repairs, they diligently cleaned up the area, leaving my home in pristine condition. Beyond their exceptional workmanship, the contractors exhibited a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. They consistently checked in with me to ensure that I was pleased with the progress and final result. They went above and beyond to accommodate any additional requests or adjustments I had, working tirelessly to deliver a finished product that exceeded my expectations. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the contractors who fixed my popcorn ceiling. Their professionalism, expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. If you are in need of skilled contractors who can transform your popcorn ceiling into a flawless work of art, look no further. These contractors are the epitome of excellence, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them."

"Team was fabulous to work with, hands down. My vision was to add more living space without adding square footage. Expert Home Builders made it happen. Walls were moved, doors rearranged, pocket door installed, custom shelving, new kitchen with extra seating, and new bathrooms came to life. I felt I was part of the Expert team. My vision and their high standards created my perfect place."

FAQs for custom home building projects in Graton, CA

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
